In most cases you can get away with setting the anchors. If you have specific layout requirements there is an event that fires when the form has been resized - it will also fire initially allowing you to do the layout before the form is displayed.
The screen resolution should be ignored as you can't determine the size of the form from the screen size.

Dll Placing while Creating Setup

Dear all, iam at the end stage of my project. i am having lot of dll's like common dlls, shared dlls and group specific dlls. while building my solution i referenced all dlls with copy Locat=true; what happened is when depolyed my project using the setup i created separate folders for dlls types. but my Main GUI which refers these dlls takes localy copy of all to its bin folder. so i re referenced the dlls with copy local=false. but this gave me a error "Dll not found on the path = "path i refernced during runtime" in the depolyed machine.

Basically how you people create a setup environment like this. i have one more idea, like can i add the all paths(target directroy paths of (common,shared,group)) in Environment variable-Path. so that the CLR serachs the Environment paths and detect automatically. Please suggest me Thanks and Regards,

Well, the following quote is from MSDN

MSDN:
At run time, components must be in one of two locations: in the output path of the project or the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

MSDN:
There are several ways to deploy an assembly into the global assembly cache:
Use an installer designed to work with the global assembly cache. This is the preferred option for installing assemblies into the global assembly cache

Revise MSDN for more details about the Global Assembly Cache.

Thanks for your reply,

First of all, GAC is used to share our assemblies. mainly if there is a need to share, version management then we have to go for GAC. also it requires Strong name. in my case it doesn't requires all these stuffs. I want to have the separate folders like Common,Shared and Group where the GUI will refer the dll. At the worst case i can go for GAC. any other options..

I saw one more thing. in the app.config file there is one tag called <probing> where we can specify the folders in which the CLR has to look out for assembly paths. anybody having idea on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srini

This is at design time, before compiling your applications. It doesn't work after compiling the application.

The only way that will achieve exactly what you want -that I know of, of course-, would be Reflection.

Using reflection means that you load your assembly in the code at runtime, create dynamic instances of your classes and use them just like if they were referenced to prior to compiling-well, almost like that;)-.

It'll be a very painful programming experience if you make every call to your dll's classes or methods through reflection. Trust me you won't forget it Big Grin | :-D

Search MSDN for more details about Reflection.

Help needed regarding updating the database thru dataset

hi every one

well its strange that I'm having a bit trouble updating the database after updating the dataset here. I'm using SQL server 2000.

sqlUpdateCommand1.Parameters["@BankID"].Value = bID = Convert.ToDecimal(textBoxBankID.Text);
sqlUpdateCommand1.Parameters["@BankName"].Value = textBoxBankName.Text;

sqlUpdateCommand1.Parameters["@Original_BankID"].Value =Convert.ToDecimal(orig_bankID);
sqlUpdateCommand1.Parameters["@Original_BankName"].Value = orig_bankName;

DataRow dr = accounts1.Bank.Rows[this.BindingContext[accounts1,"Bank"].Position];
dr["BankName"] = textBoxBankName.Text;

int n = sqlDataAdapter1.Update(accounts1,"Bank");
MessageBox.Show(n.ToString());
accounts1.AcceptChanges();
---------------------------

what happens is that it shows the update in that particular column untill its not closed. as soon as I close it and reopen it, it shwos the same ol previous value. I've dont the delete and insert part but this ones not working rt.

I'll be very thankful for ur help...

24-Jul-06 20:32

offcourse I made the dataadapter through the wizard
the code is

this.sqlUpdateCommand1.CommandText = "UPDATE Bank SET BankID = @BankID, BankName = @BankName WHERE (BankID = @Original_" + "BankID) AND (BankName = @Original_BankName); SELECT BankID, BankName FROM Bank W" +"HERE (BankID = @BankID)";

I used the two string variables orig_bankID and orig_bankName for keeping track of the previous(original) values of the record. These have the right values too. Where am I going wrong? I just can't understand.

Can display log4net information in the windows form?

Windows application, Use the log4net, ConsoleAppender and RollingFileAppender to write the log information to Console and file for all classes. Now, there is a problem, how can display the log in the Windows form real time?
If there is a method to display the Console message just like we use the MS VS2005 debugging programs?
thanks!

Hello,

You can capture the output of the console application and redirect it to a textbox.
This is tricky, but should be doable and work for all kinds of applications.

Checkout the documentation on the Process class. This should provide you with information on how to redirect the output of a process.

I am guessing it would be with OLE Objects.

How to use a class in an unmanged DLL

dfbx23-Jul-06 16:38

I have a video capturer card SDK.

in the .h file,
defined a class
all functions is in the class.

so i want to know how can i use the function?

because when i use the [Dllimport] to define the function in C#, when running, it doesn't work right,for an exception means "can not found the entrypoint in dll".

so i wondered the reason is the define of Class in dll file.

what can i do then?

the .h file is shown as below:
